I'm at the beginning of the learning curve with ImageMagick. I have successfully created some text on a patterned background with outer light drop shadow to give the nice appearance of cut-out text. To finish off the effect I need to give the text and inner dark drop shadow. Are there any ImageMagick experts out there who can help with the php please? This is my code so far which I'm happy with. <pre><code><?php header('Content-type: image/jpeg'); $background_layer = new Imagick('test_background.jpg'); # background image $d = $background_layer->getImageGeometry(); $w = $d['width']; $h = $d['height']; $text_layer = new Imagick(); $text_layer->newImage($w, $h, new ImagickPixel('none')); $text_layer->setImageFormat('png'); $ImagickDraw = new ImagickDraw(); $ImagickDraw->setFillColor('#484848'); $ImagickDraw->setFont('Helvetica-Bold'); $ImagickDraw->setFontSize( 40 ); $ImagickDraw->setTextAlignment(2); // centre $text_layer->annotateImage( $ImagickDraw, $w / 2, 50, 0, "Stuart's\niPhone" ); // create white drop shadow on it's own layer $shadow_layer_white = $text_layer->clone(); $shadow_layer_white->setImageBackgroundColor( new ImagickPixel( 'white' ) ); $shadow_layer_white->shadowImage( 70, .3, 1, 1 ); // composite original text_layer onto shadow_layer $shadow_layer_white->compositeImage( $text_layer, Imagick::COMPOSITE_OVER, 0, 0 ); // composite shadow_layer (which now has text AND the shadow) onto image_layer $background_layer->compositeImage( $shadow_layer_white, Imagick::COMPOSITE_OVER, 0, 0 ); echo($background_layer); ?> </code></pre> I'm too new to post images so you can see what I have so far at <a href="http://www.avforums.com/images/temptest.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.avforums.com/images/temptest.php</a> Any help you can give to add an internal dark drop shadow in the text would be appreciated. Thanks

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
